Previous studies have examined the association between alcohol consumption and metabolic syndrome (MetS) in adults, but studies in the elderly are lacking. We examined the relationship between high-risk alcohol consumption and MetS in elderly Korean men using the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test (AUDIT) questionnaire from the 2010-2012 Korean National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey.
Among 25,534 subjects, 2,807 were men >60 years of age; after exclusions, we included 2,088 men in the final analysis. We categorized the study participants into three groups according to AUDIT score: low risk (0-7), intermediate risk (8-14), and high risk (≥15 points).
Among the study population, 17.0% of the men were high-risk drinkers, who had the highest mean waist circumference, systolic and diastolic blood pressure (BP), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), and triglyceride (TG) levels. The overall prevalence of MetS was 41.9% in the elderly men, and it was significantly higher in the group with high (48.3%) versus low (31.9%) AUDIT scores. The prevalence of MetS components (elevated BP, high FPG, high TG, and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol) was associated with a high AUDIT score. The odds ratios (95% confidence interval) of the high-risk group for MetS, elevated BP, and high TG were 1.40 (1.03-1.89), 1.82 (1.28- 2.60), and 1.77 (1.30-2.41) after adjustment for confounding variables.
AUDIT score was correlated with most MetS components in elderly Korean men.
既往研究已探讨了成人饮酒与代谢综合征(MetS)之间的关联,但针对老年人的研究较少。我们使用2010 - 2012年韩国国民健康与营养检查调查中的酒精使用障碍识别测试(AUDIT)问卷,研究了韩国老年男性中高危饮酒与MetS之间的关系。
在25534名受试者中,有2807名年龄大于60岁的男性;排除部分受试者后,最终分析纳入了2088名男性。我们根据AUDIT评分将研究参与者分为三组:低风险(0 - 7分)、中度风险(8 - 14分)和高风险(≥15分)。
在研究人群中,17.0%的男性为高危饮酒者,他们的平均腰围、收缩压和舒张压(BP)、空腹血糖(FPG)以及甘油三酯(TG)水平最高。老年男性中MetS的总体患病率为41.9%,AUDIT评分高(48.3%)的组显著高于评分低(31.9%)的组。MetS各组分(血压升高、FPG升高、TG升高和高密度脂蛋白胆固醇降低)的患病率与高AUDIT评分相关。在调整混杂变量后,高危组患MetS、血压升高和TG升高的比值比(95%置信区间)分别为1.40(1.03 - 1.89)、1.82(1.28 - 2.60)和1.77(1.30 - 2.41)。
AUDIT评分与韩国老年男性的大多数MetS组分相关。
